Great tool for retrieving data and creating productivity reports

  • December 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of the system, being a first time user and having little to no knowledge of mysql, the way the system allows me to learn and navigate through the tables and find information is not complicated and easy to adapt.
What do you dislike about the product?
we currently using an old version of the software (discontinued), i would like to experience with the most up to date version of it but based on the needs of the business this is not a must, if anything at all that would be my only dislike, not being able to be up-to-date with the database software client
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main use for MySQL is to gather information and use that to create reports via Crystal Reports software for internal and external use. It also allows us to analyze data on live transactions done in our office and verify that information was written properly to the tables and we have accurate information.

MySQL: Best open source DB

  • December 29, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best thing about MySQL is, It's quite easy to install and use. By using some third party tools you can make it even more cooler. e.g. mk-query-digest & mydumper. Recently, it has gained more popularity as it's being used by loads of major corporations like Twitter, Alibaba, Amazon etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the people things it's free, but it's quite expensive too. Which depends on for what you are planning to use it for. It could range from FREE to $15K+.
It somehow lacks in scaling, when it's forced to do too many operations at given time.
I don't know why MySQL is trying to do everything, which it should not. It's dependency on Addons sometimes makes task complex and hard to track and maintain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personally, i have used MySQL in development of several Web & desktop based application. Additionally, i have also experimented lot using it. Being it's open source gives you lot of flexibility. It's community driven development gives us exposure to lots of third party tools which has made my work easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MySQL is a free-to-use, open-source database. It helps us in effective management of databases by connecting them to the software. It is a stable, reliable and powerful. Quite suited for low & mid-level organization.
